Welcome to Hyenas.info, a site dedicated to teaching people the truth about the Hyena, a wonderful and misunderstood animal.


When the term "hyena" comes to mind, most individuals think of a group of smelly dogs chasing vultures away from a rotting antelope carcass. However, in reality, these dogs are skilled hunters who are masters of teamwork and intensity. Hyena's live in communities and often hunt and take care of the children together. In fact, Hyena society is quite similar to human society in many ways.

Hyenas are being hunted because some humans think of them as a dangerous nuisance - in that case, shouldn't George Bush be hunted as well? Seriously though, Hyenas should be respected and left alone, they do not attack humans and are quiet creatures.

Looking at the photos below, how could any sane person every think of shooting one of these mammals?
